In a recent interview with the Battleground podcast to promote this weekend’s NWA Empowerrr and NWA 73rd Anniversary Show events, NWA owner Billy Corgan discussed several topics, including the National Wrestling Alliance acquiring Kylie Rae’s contract from IMPACT Wrestling.

“Kylie Rae is an incredibly talented young woman, we were lucky in that we were able to craft a deal with IMPACT to acquire her contract. She’s what they used to call a blue chipper, she’s a superstar in the making, she’ll go as far in this business as she wants to go, she has every skill set you can imagine, she has the innate charisma and the in-ring ability of a future legend.

Whether or not she can persevere, you know the business has a lot of challenges, I can speak on both for wrestling and music, so I’m very very empathetic on how the business can put a person in a particular corner and they might find it hard to preserve over those things, but I think she has everything that you need. Hopefully, she’s in a positive, happy position, particularly with the NWA, where she’ll want to keep making that choice going forward with us.

We’re very excited that she’s part of our world, she’s a total pleasure to deal with, she’s one of those people when she’s in the ring, I truly pay another degree of attention, she has that extra ability that I can’t quite put my finger on what it was, or is. I saw the same thing with Thunder Rosa, using another recent example, there’s just something about the X Factor charisma that they have where you pay that little bit extra attention and she absolutely has that.”
